The mkfifo utility creates the FIFOs requested, in the order specified, using mode 0777. mkfifo requires write permission in the parent directory.
FIFOs must be created under the ROOTDIR/fifos directory.
FIFOs created by this command are for use only by NuTCRACKER Platform applications. These FIFOs appear as regular files to non-NuTCRACKER Platform applications. If a non-NuTCRACKER Platform application writes to a FIFO, the FIFO is corrupted such that it no longer appears as a FIFO to NuTCRACKER Platform applications.
